A dog whistle for men

Editor’s note: I must preface this post by saying, just because I’m telling you about this product, does not mean I think it’s a good idea. In fact, I think it’s awful, and degrading, but so ridiculous that I had to share:

Forget catcalls and wolf whistles. Now there’s a device that gives women the power to command a man’s attention. HerOrbit.com is selling the HunnyDo, a silent whistle that taps into a man’s hearing frequency to get him to listen up and do some housework.

A woman may think her man is ignoring her when she speaks, but research shows it’s because he has difficulty hearing her voice. According to NeuroImage journal, the male brain works harder to understand what a woman is saying because it initially interprets the female voice as music.

A woman’s voice carries a more complex range of sound frequencies and the male brain has to go into “overdrive” to decipher what is being said. The male response of saying “Yes, dear” or nodding without a true understanding of what was said, is the root of this hearing issue.

Studies by E. Hancock of Johns Hopkins University show that what a person consciously hears depends on which sounds they pay attention to. The HunnyDo makes men more receptive to a woman’s voice by first creating a hearing response.

It’s not an ordinary, obnoxious whistle that can irritate the man. It’s a low-frequency whistle that sends silent, harmless auditory signals to a man’s brainstem, making him perk up as if it’s a new sound he’s hearing.

A woman blows the HunnyDo covertly within a 30-foot range of the man she wishes to alert and then speaks her mind. The man will be more attentive to her needs than she ever imagined.

Whoever doesn’t understand what “honey take the garbage out”, please do the kitchen floor, or how about helping me do” … deserves a dog whistle. I don’t think it’s degrading for the men, I think it’s degrading for the women that they could be duped into actually buying one if those. Unless you could use it for pets.

Why can guys hear their gals when it anything else? Their voices don’t sound like music then?

Obviously it’s a gag gift, but if I took a dog whistle home and started blowing it at my wife, neither of us would be laughing. I have to wonder how many of these could actually be sold to a woman. I don’t know maybe I’m looking at it from the wrong perspective, like I know she would like it if I did it to her…

Who knew this thing was so popular? This came from the whistle PR people today:

“The HunnyDo debuted last Friday and in 2 days we sold out our first production run of 1000. We’ve improved the whistle and now have the successor SweetieDo. It works exactly the same way but is lighter and more streamlined.”

Forget the device Kristi- the more important point here is that all men can rejoice! We now have a scientific journal in our corner… Boy I sure could have used this cover story, er, “information,” before my divorce!

Everything old is new again. When Lauren Bacall told Humphrey Bogart, “You just put your lips together and blow” she didn’t need some gag gift to let her man know what was on her mind. What today’s culture has lost is…………class and elegance.
